The final Connections game of the week is a bit easier than some of the recent examples. That doesn't make it easy, of course – so if you think you might need some hints, simply scroll down for my offerings.
What should you do once you've finished? Why, play some more word games of course. I've also got daily Wordle hints and answers, Strands hints and answers and Quordle hints and answers articles if you need help for those too.

There are lots of long answers in today's NYT Connections, which may have made the task easier because there are simply fewer ways in which those complex terms can be used. If you take something like DAVID-AND-GOLIATH or BUMPER-TO-BUMPER there's not a lot of ambiguity about what it might refer to, unlike several other recent games (I'm looking at you, NAIL/BOLT/SCREW etc yesterday).
This was therefore the easiest Connections game I've played in the past week. I solved all four in double-quick time, with no pauses for thought and no mistakes. If only they were all so simple, eh?

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.
It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.
It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
